Saturday School Week 3

Ok my friends -the word of the week is "bird".  I have really been enjoying these fun phonics cards and I'm finding it so easy to use them along with dies and stamps from my collection.  Next time you are at a flea market or your local thrift shop don't forget to look at the kids toys and books.  That's where I found these.

Have a creative weekend,,

Saturday School Week 2

This week we are looking at the letter O.  Since I'm having some fun with the #hipforsummer challenge - O is for ostrich.

When I found this "O is for ostrich" card in the fan deck I knew it was perfect for this cray Hipster Ostrich, hope you like it too.

Have creative weekend,

Saturday School Week 1

Hi my friends,

I am starting a new series that I hope will become fun and challenging.  I like to go through my local thrift shops to see what is out there that I could use for my mixed media and card making adventures.  Some time ago I picked up these cute children's items - phonics flash cards, a little book and question & answers fan deck.  They have been sitting in my stash for a long time so when I joined Tim Holtz's #hipforsummer challenge I decided to put them to use. I have made three so far and will share with you once a week.  Not all will be Hipsters but that's where I started.  My challenge to myself is to make something once a week using things that I already have but haven't used lately.

These are my thrift store items so here we go -

I used one of the phonics cards "ch", of course, is for Chimp. 

He's pretty cool with his mirrored sunglasses and the attitude!   I used a little Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide on the card itself and then did a little stenciling. The chimp is stamped and then  colored with Copic Markers and finally die cut with the new Sizzix Hipster die.  I layered all the pieces together with foam tape to give it some dimension and also used the foam tape to attach it to the card.

Hope you have enjoyed-

I thought it would be fun to join the challenge using the Hipster Stamps and Dies from Tim Holtz & Sizzix so here is my first official make.  You can read the details by clicking here. 

I had lots of fun with this one as I simply think it's funny that a bird is on the head of a cat.  I was going to put "friends" but Mac suggested that I use "buds" and I like that.

Hope you have enjoyed and will join the "Hip" fun.

Hi, just a quick stop today to share a card I made for our friends Herb & Gail.  They were telling us how each year their sister-in-law donates a goat in their name, in some poor country, for Hanukah.  While it is a very nice gesture, it struck me funny, so when I picked up these new Hipster Stamps from Tim Holtz I just had to make this card so they can send it to her. 

 

 

Stay Crafty My Friends,
